A hot tub is no doubt among the highest ranking luxuries one can procure for their home.

Having a hot tub in your own backyard is a mini luxury. It’s like having a piece of that vacation resort you visited at home. After a long day, you can slip into it with a glass of wine and let the stress melt away. Or perhaps you’ll invite friends over on a Saturday night for a party. 

The hot tub is the first step; the deck is what completes the atmosphere. The right deck design makes it easier to get in and out of your hot tub. It can shade you from the sun and create a barrier from spying eyes. 

Try these deck ideas in your backyard and create your own hot tub oasis. 

1. Hot Tub Decks for Simple Backyards

The minimalist design and aesthetic looks modern and clean. So whether your backyard is small or large, you can embrace the simple approach. This means keeping the landscaping to a minimum and creating a decking area that has minimal details. 

The most popular hot tub decks for simple backyards include using large stones or wood decking to create a large deck area around your hot tub. You’ll use one type of wood that’s cut into a uniform shape and size. 

If you want to add some detail, you could create multiple levels. This will enable you to create steps that will raise your hot tub deck’s height and make it easier to get in and out of your hot tub. 

When creating your simple backyard design, skip the railings on your deck, intricate wood designs, specialty lighting, and multiple material types. 

2. Small Hot Tub Decks

Just because you have a small hot tub doesn’t mean you don’t need a deck. You can create the illusion of having a larger hot tub by constructing the right type of decking around it. The trick is to make your decking proportional to the hot tub.
